Put your hand on the horse's leg, and run your hand down until you reach the tendon above the ankle. When the horse feels this, it will shift its weight to the other three legs. Once you have the foot raised, try resting it between your knees, with the sole facing up toward you.\n\n- Remove the existing shoe - Use a clinch cutter to straighten the nails holding the old shoe on, then use a pair of metal pull-offs to remove the shoe from the hoof. This can also be done with a flat screwdriver. Wiggle the tool in a rocking motion until it is loose enough to pull off by hand.\n\n- Clean the hoof - Make sure to clean away any dirt and debris to prevent it from being trapped between the hoof and the new shoe. Use a hoof pick to remove dirt or manure, using downward strokes from heel to toe. Follow up with a wire brush to remove any remaining debris. Be careful of the fleshy area here because it is very sensitive.\n\n- Remove the excess hoof - Use a hoof knife to remove the excess flaky part of the bottom of the hoof. The outer layer will be hard and dark, and once cut, the hoof underneath will be softer and whiter, similar to a human's toenail. Make sure not to cut too deep, and not to cut yourself.\n\n- Trim excess hoof wall - The hoof wall is the edge of the hoof. It should only extend about 3 inches from the hairline of the hoof. If it is longer than this, trim it back and make sure to cut it straight and level so it will sit flush with the ground when standing.\n\n- Use a rasp for leveling - This is the last step before applying a new shoe. Use a rasp and gently file any uneven areas so that the hoof is smooth and level. Use a knife to cut away a slight bevel away from the hoof wall to prevent the sole of the shoe from coming in contact with the soft part of the foot.", "role": "assistant" } ]

During that time, he collected Eastern box turtles — which have bright yellow or orange markings on their cocoa-colored shells — and shipped them to buyers in the United States.\n\nMany of the animals were then sold to people in Hong Kong and China, where the illegal pet turtle trade is booming, prosecutors said. Turtle populations there are in decline because of their use in the pet trade, in Asian folk medicines and as food.\n\nMr. Fazi admitted that he had bound the turtles in socks and shipped them via FedEx from Fredericksburg, Va., making about $12,700 in the scheme, the Justice Department said in a news release. He will be sentenced in July and faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nContinue reading the main story\n\nMr. Fazi’s lawyer, Edward J. Ungvarsky, said in a statement that his client “loves turtles and publicly sold a small number of turtles that he found over several years to fellow aficionados here in the United States.”\n\n“He never intended for any of them to be sent to Asia,” Mr. Ungvarsky added.\n\nVirginia law prohibits the taking and selling of any turtle species from the wild; it is a federal crime to violate state wildlife laws.\n\nDig deeper into the moment.\nSpecial offer: Subscribe for $1 a week for the first year.\nMr. Fazi’s case is the latest to catch the attention of federal authorities who have been investigating a growing illegal, international pet trade worsened by the pandemic after people who were spending more time at home sought exotic pets, particularly species easy to keep and smuggle.\n\nEDITORS’ PICKS\nStrep Is on the Rise.

Conservationists have described the phenomenon as the “Asian turtle crisis.”\n\nBut the shipments of Eastern box turtles to Asia have contributed to the species’ decline in the United States. The Eastern box turtles are also an invasive species in Asia and may spread disease there.\n\nA U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service investigation found that at least 1,500 native turtles — including wood turtles, spotted turtles and Eastern box turtles — were illegally smuggled to Asia between June 2017 and December 2018.\n\nThe illegal pet trade in the United States has led some to believe that the underground market is an easy way to make money, said Crawford Allan of the World Wildlife Fund, an expert on international wildlife trafficking and trade. The premise, he said, seems simple: You find turtles outside, collect them and sell them online.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nContinue reading the main story\n“What we have found is that it is so easy to put things on social media without detection,” Mr. Allan said in an interview.\n\nMr. Fazi deployed that social media strategy in his scheme, according to prosecutors.\n\nCourt records show that on July 26, 2017, he posted on Facebook Marketplace’s “Virginia Reptile Classifieds” that he was “looking for any and all box turtles. Message me and let me know what you have.”\n\nSuch open queries are typical in the illegal turtle trade, Mr. Allan said, because people “can avoid detection” easily. Sometimes they change keywords with emojis or with code words when trying to communicate in a sale, he said.\n\nFacebook, which prohibits such transactions on its site, is one of the major platforms that is being taken advantage of in the exotic pet trade, Mr. Allan said.\n\nADVERTISEMENT\n\nContinue reading the main story\n“It’s so difficult to tell the difference between somebody just showing a nature video” or someone trying to sell an exotic animal by being clever in their messaging, Mr. Allan said. He noted, though, that detection is improving because of more sophisticated algorithms.\n\nSome of Mr. Fazi’s most financially lucrative sales involved “screamer” Eastern box turtles, which are highly desired because of their vibrant coloration. They can have streaks of red and yellow on shells dazzled with dots and bright red eyes.\n\nMr. Fazi offered to sell a pair of screamers for $400, according to prosecutors.\n\nIn one message to a customer that appeared in court records, Mr. Fazi boasted that he had a lot of screamers in his possession.\n\n“I will always supply you with easterns man,” Mr. Fazi wrote. “No need to go anywhere else.\"", "role": "user" }, { "content": "None of the information requested can be found or given.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Considering this society was also an island that was both physically and intentionally cut off from civilization, the people of this community needed to become (if they were not already) proficient in live-savings skills: first-aid, food hunting and gathering, and making shelters and clothing. The members of the island came here as a group almost 30 years ago with just the proverbial shirts on their backs, but those items of clothing were long gone to the elements. Now, they wore a mixture of leaf-based and animal hide tunics and trousers, and footwear made from the rubber of nearby trees.\n\nAn article published in Time Magazine caused a lot of controversy in the town; specifically, outsiders began flocking to the remote island to become members of this small society. As for the community members, they saw nothing but trouble and hassle and began feeling society's grasp wrapping around them again. They escaped the problems of the outside world, but the outside world decided to follow them to the remotest parts of it.\n\nIn retaliation, the community members began closing up their businesses, removing signage and retreating into their hand-built shelters. They would not welcome these newcomers, opting instead for an icy reception. The unofficial mayor of the community, Sal Hardwick, greeted visitors with the following phrase designed to make them rethink their choice: \"Leave now.

The worst of this was that King Leopold III of Belgium surrendered to the Germans on May 28 without warning his allies, exposing the entire flank of the Allied forces to German panzer groups.[44] Following the conquest of the Low Countries, Hitler occupied Denmark and Norway, beginning on April 9, 1940. Norway was strategically important because of its sea routes which supplied crucial Swedish ore to the Nazi war machine.

One of the biggest factors is its simplicity. Compared to many aircraft, the Cessna 172 is simple to fly and maintain. It is regularly used by pilot training schools specifically for that reason. \n\nCompared to many of its competitors, the Cessna's high wing can be advantageous. Most competing aircraft like the Piper Cherokee have low-mounted wings which limit visibility below the cockpit and make the cabin harder to get into and out of. The Skyhawk's high wing limits upward visibility but makes it easier for pilots to see the ground and runway.\n\nUntil recent years, the 172 was also among the most affordable planes to buy.

What else could explain his decision to single out chicken protein while overlooking valuable other meats like beef and pork from his restaurant's menu? Seafood is also an excellent protein source. Some consider snails a delicacy!\n\nThe truth of the matter is that the public perception of chickens has been changing in recent years. You can now find beautiful specimens of my species adorning dishtowels, metal signs, and wall decor. Some clearly enlightened people adopt chickens as part of their families, even dressing them in trendy outfits and accessories. Elaborate coop designs are available online for owners who want to keep their highly-esteemed chickens living a life of luxury.\n\nWhen making decisions about which species to feature on your menu, KFC is not taking into account the generous contributions cows make to the proper fertilization of the soil. Protecting the environment is a top-of-mind issue for many consumers, and just imagine the goodwill it could garner from your company switching to farming cows!\n\nAnd let's take a look at pork. Pigs will eat almost any kind of food waste you provide. They aren't particular. You could give them the prior day's leftover mashed potatoes and coleslaw and they'd be, well, as happy as pigs! Pork lends itself to some tasty menu variations, like pickled pigs' feet and pig snouts. In fact, doesn't \"Kentucky Fried Pig Snouts\" have a ring to it? Plus, there's an added benefit to switching to pig protein: dogs love to eat pigs' ears, and that would offer you an avenue into a completely new market.\n\nOther proteins have positive selling points, too. Fish can be farmed in ponds capable of containing many fish in a relatively small footprint of real estate. Dig the pond as deep as you'd like. And think about how little space it would take to raise snails!\n\nIn closing, I believe Kentucky Fried Chicken needs to revisit its antiquated business practice of selling chicken. There are other wonderful protein substitutes available that are more earth-friendly, offer added revenue streams, and offer a more efficient use of space.\n\nRespectfully,\n[Chicken Name]", "role": "assistant" } ]

The reason for their extinction is not necessarily known, as it is difficult for scientists to determine the exact cause of an extinction that happened pre-historically. However, scientists do have some theories about why the Neanderthals went extinct. The main theory is that a combination of climate change and increased competition from other species brought the Neanderthals to their end. Neanderthals were highly specialized for cold environments. While these specializations were advantageous during the Ice Age, they are thought to have caused Neanderthals to be unfit for the warming environment that they began to face about 45,000 years ago. Homo Sapiens, on the other hand, had much more adaptability to these changes and were fierce competition for vital resources at the time.\n\nThis is considered to be the main theory behind Neanderthal extinction.

But because drug tests are exquisitely sensitive, consuming certain poppy seed food products can lead to positive urine drug test results for opiates – specifically for morphine, codeine or both.\n\nUnder most circumstances, opiate concentrations in the urine are too low to produce a positive test result. But certain food products – and it’s generally impossible to know which ones, because opiate content does not appear on food labels – contain enough opiates to produce positive test results. Moreover, because of overlap in opiate concentrations and morphine-to-codeine ratios, it can sometimes be challenging to distinguish test results that are due to the consumption of poppy seeds from those that are due to the use of opiate drugs.\n\nThis is not a problem with most workplace drug testing. Test results are reviewed by a specially trained physician called a medical review officer. Unless the physician finds evidence of unauthorized opiate use, such as needle marks or signs of opiate intoxication or withdrawal, even relatively high concentrations of opiates in the urine that produce positive test results are generally ruled to be negative.\n\nIt turns out, though, that drug testing in the military is different, and poppy seeds pose potential problems. One such problem, as highlighted in recent news reports, concerns service members who test positive for codeine and assert a “poppy seed defense.” They are still regarded as having taken codeine, sometimes with serious consequences, such as a disciplinary action or discharge from the service.", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Drug tests are extremely sensitive and consuming certain poppy seed foods can actually lead to positive urine drug tests.

[ { "content": "Give me some benefits of credit cards", "role": "user" }, { "content": "Here are ten benefits of using a credit card for payments.\n\n1. Ability to pay on credit. \nSometimes you don't have enough money to pay for something, but you really need it. A credit card lets you purchase a product as soon as you want and then pay off the balance over time. Certain situations can be highly beneficial, such as expensive emergencies or wanting to spread the costs of a large purchase over time. \n\n2. Most accepted payment method. \nRetailers almost universally accept credit cards. This means you can carry one card around instead of constantly withdrawing cash. Visa and Mastercard are the largest payment processors for credit cards, and you will find that they are accepted almost everywhere in the world. This is an excellent benefit if you travel a lot and don't want to keep track of currencies. \n\n3. Interest-free cash withdrawals.\nSome credit cards allow users to withdraw large amounts of cash without paying interest for up to 45 days. This can be extremely useful in emergencies. \n\n4. Reward points. \nCredit cards often give users reward points for using their cards. This means you get extra value on your purchases simply by using a credit card. Certain credit cards offer specific rewards for specific spending categories giving users a bonus for spending money, for example, on travel. These rewards are often limitless, which gives customers an excellent opportunity to get maximum value from the card. \n\n5. Insurance. \nCredit cards offer significant security measures such as insurance. Having personal accident coverage and travel insurance just for having a credit card is a massive benefit that entices credit card users. As well as this, credit cards also offer a sense of security as users are often able to get refunds on transactions that they did not receive a product or in instances where the product was not as described. \n\n6. Make travel easy. \nSome credit cards give you great travel benefits. As well as not worrying about organizing local currency, some credit cards offer discounts on flights, dining out, and hotels. Credit cards sometimes offer reward bonuses for money spent on travel. Sometimes, your credit card can give you priority access to airport lounges and other areas.\n\n7. Discount and cashback. \nSimilar to rewards, credit cards offer users exceptional discounts for spending at preferred stores and sometimes offer money back as cashback. Money for free is a great benefit of using a credit card.\n\n8. Improve your credit score. \nIf you want to buy a house or secure a loan, you must have a strong credit history and rating. A credit card improves your credit score by showing you can be trusted to repay your borrowed money. Along with smaller bills like phone and tv subscriptions, this is the best way to build a credit history. \n\n9. Safety. \nNot having to carry cash around can make you feel a lot safer. A credit card allows you to carry just one card and have far more money than cash. \n\n10. Keep track of expenses. \nIf you regularly use cash to pay for things, tracking your expenses can be difficult without much effort. Using a credit card will mean receiving monthly statements outlining every transaction. This makes it much easier to see where your money is spent and make informed decisions regarding your spending.

Use your imagination; you are bound to find some old items that can be repurposed for a fun piece of art.\n\n- Build a blanket and pillow fort. This is great for the little ones - they seem to love places to play hide and seek and you can get creative with bed pillows, couch throw pillows, blankets, sheets, and whatever else you can find. You can make this into a fun way to watch a movie or binge some family TV shows.\n\n- Have a talent show. Sing a song, make up a silly dance, or tell some dad jokes. Take turns and see who can come up with the craziest character or most original dance. Add some music and turn it into a fun karaoke party! \n\n- Make some tasty treats. Nothing beats rainy fun than eating some treats that you made for yourself. Cookies and brownies are easy staples that the kids can help with, while older folk may experiment with more decadent treats like chocolate mousse or a no-bake cheesecake.

Such weather forecasts and warnings are produced to help safeguard the lives and property of American citizens from the dangers of severe weather, as well as to protect the national economy from weather-related disruptions. The NWS, which is a branch of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is considered the official source of the United States concerning life-threatening weather, complementing local and regional reports made by television and radio broadcasting stations and Internet sources.\n\nThe NWS maintains an integrated network of more than 100 regional and field offices across the United States and its possessions. Forecasts are derived from weather and climate data collected from a multitude of sources, including satellites, aircraft, weather balloons, and ground-level remote sensing equipment (such as Doppler weather radar). Traditional instrumentation (such as thermometers, barometers, and rain gauges), however, is also used to collect weather data in the vicinity of each office.\n\nThe NWS began with the Signal Service Corps of the U.S. Army. In 1870 U.S. Pres. Ulysses S. Grant signed a resolution allowing the secretary of war to set up a national weather warning service. The original purpose of the service was to facilitate the collection of weather data from military installations located across the country and warn locations along the Great Lakes and marine coasts of the approach of storms. In the early days of the service, weather information was relayed by telegraph to Washington, D.C. This office later sent forecast information out to local Signal Service offices, which were subsequently distributed to rural post offices, railroad stations, and newspaper offices for dissemination to the general public.\n\nAs part of the Organic Act of 1890, which was passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by Pres. Benjamin Harrison, the weather service was renamed the United States Weather Bureau (USWB) and was placed under civilian control within the Department of Agriculture. The responsibilities of weather forecasting, warning, and observation were officially transferred from the Signal Service Corps to the USWB on July 1, 1891. The USWB was made part of the Department of Commerce in 1940, and it became part of the Environmental Science Services Administration (ESSA) within the Department of Commerce in 1965. ESSA and several other offices were restructured into the newly created NOAA on October 3, 1970, and the USWB became the National Weather Service on October 9.\n", "role": "user" }, { "content": "The United States Weather Bureau became the National Weather Service and part of NOAA on October 9, 1970.", "role": "assistant" } ]

Patience is to be calm no matter what happens, constantly take action to turn it into positive growth opportunities, and have faith to believe that it will all work out in the end while you are waiting.”\nIt’s not wrong to accept what is meant for you and leave behind what your heart wishes for.\nLet that sink in. Read it every day as a dose of positivity, and keep moving forward. It takes a brave heart to accept the unknown, but once you welcome whatever comes your way with open arms, you win.\nThe idea of growth itself makes us want to change and do better. But because we have arrived in this world with a destiny already written for us, it is in our best interests to have faith and not become selfish.\nAsk yourself one more time why you must tire yourself by thinking of all the buts and ifs. Why not just do your job by trying hard enough and then leave everything to your fate?\nNo one deserves to be called a loser just because he didn’t become someone people wanted him to be. Give yourself to your destiny completely. Free yourself from all the worries and never doubt how things will turn out.", "role": "assistant" } ]
